The newly installed green boards have resolved parking woes at Shivaji Park, according to local residents who spoke with mid-day. The residents said that people would park their vehicles on both sides of the road earlier, but now, thanks to these boards, discipline is being maintained. Just a day after the green parking boards were installed, mid-day observed on Sunday that all vehicles were parked systematically in a single lane. Residents told mid-day that these boards provide clear information, and similar boards should be installed across Mumbai.

Around a dozen parking boards were placed along the perimeter of Shivaji Park on Saturday, displaying information about permitted parking hours and penalties for violations. The pilot project is the brainchild of Senior Inspector Kanhaiyalal Shinde and his team from the Dadar Traffic Division. The boards were inaugurated by former Bombay High Court judge Mrudula Bhatkar and renowned ophthalmologist Dr Tatyarao Lahane.

A group of regular cricketers at Shivaji Park — Mayur Parmar, Sahil Tambe, Prakash Gohil, Mihir Khopkar, Tushar Garkar, Vaibhav Pratap, and Pratham Azad — approved of the move. PIC/BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT
